CORPUS CHRISTI - Maybe it's a photo of a police officer stopping a motorist after a holiday party, or a picture of Santa Claus adding names to the naughty list.

Whatever the image, the message is meant to make people think twice before drinking and driving this holiday season in Corpus Christi.

Police officials are hosting a contest through Nov. 12 seeking entries from area high school students for designs of the department's annual anti-drunken driving campaign.

The winning entry will be featured on area billboards, posters and online, police said.

"If we're going to get a handle on drunk driving, let's try and reach those kids who are about to get their driver's license," Police Chief Floyd Simpson said. "We want to get them talking and thinking about those issues."

Contestants can submit entries for the ad campaign's slogan, artwork, or both. Entries can include original drawings, paintings, photographs and more, but must include parental consent, police said. The contest is open to students ages 15 to 18.

Other prizes include an Apple iPad, iPod touch and iPod nano, provided by the Citizens in Support of Corpus Christi Police Department Foundation.
